IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special Section on Vehicular Communications Networks

****** Paper Submission Deadline: February 15, 2007 ******

Traffic congestion, delays, and accidents in the transportation systems have caused significant loss of lives, waste of energy, and loss in productivity. To improve the safety, security and efficiency of the transportation systems and enable new mobile services and applications for the traveling public, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been developed, which apply rapidly emerging information technologies in vehicles and transportation infrastructures. The development of inter/intra-vehicle and infrastructure-to-vehicle mobile mesh and ad hoc networks is one of the most challenging and critical issues for the ITS industry, which also sparks numerous interests in the communications and networking research community. The objective of this special section is to disseminate the state-of-the-art R&D results in this fast-moving research area, to facilitate the deployment of vehicular communications networks, and to bring together people from both academia and industry, with the goal of fostering interaction among them to promote further research interests and activities to enable new transportation products and services, e.g., advanced traffic management, vehicle control, safety control, and networking and information services for users on the road.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Emerging inter/intra-vehicle and infrastructure-to-vehicle wireless communication technologies - Vehicular network architecture and protocol - Vehicular network performance modeling and analysis - Vehicular network medium access control and routing protocols - Vehicular network flow and congestion control - Quality of Services (QoS) provisioning in wireless-enabled ITS systems - Traffic management, vehicle control, and safety related applications for ITS systems - Networking and information services for users on the roads (by automobiles, trains, planes, or ships) - Cross-layer design and optimization for vehicular networks - Mobility management and intersystem handovers - Simulations models and testbeds for ITS - Implementation and field tests of ITS systems - Network self-organization and self-configuration - Network security and trustworthy networks - Incentives, cooperation, and reputation systems
